Star Wars: The Old Republic/WMG: Difference between revisions

'''Pre-emptive warning - anything marked "Confirmation status" contains major spoilers.''' [[Schmuck Bait|You have been warned.]]

== Revan and the Exile will return. ==

* One problem, The Old Republic takes place 300 years after Revan's disappearance, so even if they didn't die prematurely they most likely died of natural causes. And even if they knew how to extend their lifespan through the force, this can only take them so far.

** First, the Sith Emperor's been doing for over a thousand years so it's not impossible. Secondly, on Taral V you have to rescue a Jedi prisoner who is instrumental in "holding back the darkness" and has been lost inside it for three hundred years. It is also mentioned that should this prisoner's strength fail he will become the darkness. Sound familiar?

 

== Revan is the Sith Emperor's host body. ==

* '''Confirmation status''': {{spoiler|Not the case. The Emperor is keeping him alive, however}}.

 

Satele Shan is already suspected to be a descendant of Revan and Bastila, but there may be other reasons that the canonical genders of the two KOTOR protagonists are different. Two former comrades in arms fighting a hopeless battle together... If this is the case each class would have their own backstory as to how the descendant of two powerful Jedi ended up with the Sith, as a smuggler or a bounty hunter, etc. Even the non-Force Sensitive classes could be latently gifted and unknowingly calling on the Force to be the best of the best. And isn't [[Luke, I Am Your Father|surprising parentage]] a classic Star Wars plot point?

* This would contradict the implication in KOTOR 2 that the exile was opposed to Revan's fall, though. She was put in charge of the action where he sent all the dissenters to get killed. Doesn't mean it isn't true, of course.

* Jossed: Official novels make it clear that Revan left a pregnant Bastilla behind, and never had further children before {{spoiler|being trapped by the Sith Emperor.}}

 

 

== Darth Malgus is the [[Big Bad]] for both sides ==

* '''Confirmation status''': {{spoiler|Confirmed to an extent; He serves as the final boss for the last flashpoint available to both factions}}.

 

 

== The Voss are no better than the Gormak. ==

* '''Confirmation status''': {{spoiler|The Voss and Gormak are divergent evolutions of the same source species. The species was forked by the Jedi, who altered the Voss in a long forgotten war with the Sith on Voss before recorded history. The Voss aren't thrilled when they find out that their war is a planetary family feud.}}

 

== There is no Sith Emperor ==

His identity was just conjured up [[Big Brother Is Watching|to keep the Imperial citizens in-line]].

 

== Janarus will get overthrown and replaced by one of his political rivals ==

* '''Confirmation Status''': {{spoiler|Jossed. Janarus is either assassinated or resigns during the final chapter of the Bounty Hunter's story. Governor Saresh does take his place though.}}

 

== Novel characters will appear in the game ==

* Confirmed to some extent. Characters from the Comics like Darth Baras, Braden, and Tenel Kal have appeared in the game, although many of them have been redesigned both in terms of their role in the story, and their appearance. Characters from Threat of Peace suffered particularly hard here; Darth Baras has put on a lot of weight, and Braden is a lot older than he was in the comic. Satele's relationship with Taavus is also questionable.

 

== The Sith Emperor is Darth Andeddu ==

His role as [[The Chessmaster]] is in line with Andeddu's extreme paranoia (including his elimination of the ancient Sith Lords' spirits as competition for his power) and planning. He is also the only known Sith Lord prior to Darth Bane known to have learned how to [[Grand Theft Me|transfer his essence to another body]] (which seems to be the Sith Emperor's method of immortality). But perhaps, most glaringly, is the fact that Darth Andeddu was the first Dark Lord to use the title "Darth" (the few who used it before him were lesser Sith Lords), which fell into common usage under the Sith Emperor's reign, having been bestowed by him upon Revan and Malak, as well as upon all of the known Sith Lords from the Great Galactic War.

 

== Both sides will eventually erupt in a Civil War. ==

 

At the end of the Great Hyperspace War, a Jedi who was appalled by the genocide of the Sith decided to defect and guide the Sith to a new homeworld. However, the need for absolute order to protect the Sith from the horrors of Dromund Kaas made this Jedi fall to the dark side. The Emperor's reclusiveness stems from his reluctance to reveal to his subjects that he used to be a Jedi. The spirits of the ancient Sith Lords hate him because he participated in the sacking of Korriban.

 

== The Sith Emperor is Kreia ==

Consider the parallels between Kreia and [[Dragon Age|Flemeth]]. They're generally manipulative, tend to work behind the scenes, pretend to be an ally of the hero for a time, and are usually at least as significant a threat as the actual [[Big Bad]] of the story, if they aren't the [[Big Bad]] themselves. Now consider that body surfing to achieve extended lifespan is an established tactic of both Flemeth and existing Sith in Star Wars...

 

 

 

== The Entity in the Sith Warrior storyline is Darth Traya ==

== M1-4X survives for thousands of years ==

 

== HK-47 gets [[Killed Off for Real]] ==

This is a conclusion I made after I played every class Light Side. It will be just like the two Germanys, where one adopt the structure of the other and reunify. Made easier by the fact, that [[Big Bad|the current Head of State of the Empire]] wants to [[Kill Them All|KILL EVERYONE]]. The resulting [[Enemy Mine]] between the eight protagonists would be a logical consequence (especially the light siders).

* Sure as hell explains why the Republic is shown to use the Sith Empire logo in the prequels...

* There is one major obstacle standing in the way of this possibility: The Sith. They've been planning revenge against the Jedi Order for millenia now, and they're unlikely to give it up just like that. They might temporarily ally with the Republic to eliminate the Emperor, but that won't last past his death.

 

== Quorian Dorjis will play a prominant part in the future storylines of both Sith classes ==
